After receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree in Pharmacy from Ohio Northern University in 1982, Jay began working at the local pharmacy in his hometown of Covington, Ohio.

Services provided expanded from 50 nursing home residents within a 10 mile radius, to over 10,000 residents in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky. Jay was a founding member and President (1998-2008) of NetRX, a co-op buying group for independent pharmacies, and co-founded and served as President of Senior Care Pharmacy Alliance, a national organization representing independent nursing home pharmacies in state and federal affairs.

— Stuff That REALLY Matters —

Jay’s biggest claim to fame is his family. He and Lori (Kinnison) were married since 1982 and are the proud parents of Jason (Ashley), Jordan and Michelle. Jordan, a special person born with multiple disabilities, continues to serve as the “ultimate perspective keeper” for the entire family. In his spare time Jay enjoys writing, listening to music and training for and competing in triathlons.

"Jay’s coaching drew me to realize my true talent - my ability to lead clients and employees to challenge themselves, grow and find greater satisfaction. It took some time to embrace this. It has now been over a year, and as I reflect back, I see better client and employee relationships - stronger revenue- and a feeling of well –being even when things are NOT going well."

"Credible. Engaged. Focused. Jay's personal journey and professional success provides unmatched credibility as a strategic planning facilitator. He stays engaged, but detaches just enough so that the planning team does the work and owns the result. Lastly, Jay is focused and very committed to the process, but flexible in its application. He is highly recommended to anyone who wants an actionable strategic plan that doesn't gather dust."

— Strategy —

Effective strategic planning provides clarity and focus for everyone in your organization and differentiates you from others in your industry/field. Jay attributes his business success to having a vision with a plan that all teammates understood and embraced. Jay will utilize a process he developed (Stratfield Leadership Process ™) and will help you take your business to the next level.

— Culture —

An organization may have the greatest strategic plan in the world, but if it doesn’t have a culture that embraces and supports that plan, the organization is doomed for failure.

He discovered that culture IS an organization’s competitive advantage.
